Occlusions are considered as one of the main dental problems worldwide, due to their high epidemiological dimension in the childhood, and the physical and emotional consequences in the adult life. Thus, the use of preventive actions in early childhood in order to reduce the incidence of malocclusions is the main way to address this public health problem. The objective of this study was to report the stability and occlusal harmony of a unilateral posterior crossbite treatment, based on Neuroclusal Rehabilitation (RNO) therapy with the use of Direct Tracks, after 6 years of follow up. The clinical case refers to a female patient, currently 10 years old, who was diagnosed at age of 4, with unilateral left posterior functional crossbite and midline deviation. For the treatment of the RNO, the occlusal adjustments were made in order to remove the premature contacts of the crossed side, and to restructure the neuromuscular activity. In addition, the Planas Directs Tracks were made with a composite resin, light-cured in inclined planes, to provide stimulation of neuroreceptors and orthopedic development. The use of this technique in the early intervention of posterior crossbite becomes attractive and advantageous, given the use of low cost and easy access materials, not requiring direct cooperation of the patient, low complexity of technical execution and the possibility of being developed by the general practitioner. It was concluded that the RNO with the use of the Planas Directs Tracks was effective for the correction of posterior crossbite. In addition, the stability, balance and occlusal harmony of the treated case were observed after 6 years of follow-up, reiterating the efficiency of the therapy in the early intervention of malocclusion
